Not only for being a sympathetic portrayal of a gay teen coming out when it was still relatively rare on TV, it certainly doesn't hurt that he was portrayed [[RetroactiveRecognition by a young Mr. Robot]] (which currently has created a lot of JustHereForGodzilla viewers for the show at large).

trimming natter, also the Tila Tequila thing is a bit of a stretch since race does not come up much in that episode(aside from one offhand joke from Larry)

* HarsherInHindsight: The episode "The White Shadow" shows Mike having a sex fantasy involving Music/TilaTequila. This becomes rather awkward given Tequila has recently expressed Nazi sympathies.
* JustHereForGodzilla: With Creator/RamiMalek's explosion into superstardom many people have gone back and rediscovered this two-season mid-2000s sitcom. Poorly reviewed and unpopular with audiences, the general consensus looking back is that it's a pretty subpar sitcom in which Malek's performance, and the coming out storyline for his character Kenny (surprisingly well-done, especially for the time), are the only saving graces.

* ValuesDissonance: When Hilary gets rejected from colleges repeatedly, she is convinced to go join the army. When her parents think of it as an absurd idea, she yells at them, ‘What’s wrong with giving back to your country, you traitors?!’ At the end of the episode she does get accepted into a decent college, and thinks that enlisting was an idiotic idea. This episode might seem fairly normal to Americans, but in Israel, which has {{Conscription}} because of its [[UsefulNotes/ArabIsraeliConflict continuous armed conflict]], dodging the draft is almost akin to treason, Hilary’s fervent defence of her will to enlist is basically mainstream discourse there, and the idea of enlisting being a senseless decision would come across as infuriating and sacrilegious.

* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: Lampshaded at the beginning of "Cheers":
-->'''Dave''': When I was a kid, all I wanted to do was sneak into "R" rated movies. In my mind, "R" stood for "really good." Nowadays, there's warnings and ratings on everyhing; video games, music, booze, cigarettes. You think these warnings would keep kids away from all these things. When, actually, it's sending up a flare saying, "Hey, look. Good stuff over here."
-->''Disclaimer appears on screen: "Due to the mature subject matter, the following episode may not be suitable for all family members.''
-->'''Dave''': (Glances down at disclaimer) See? Makes you wanna watch even more, doesn't it?
